Dough

Cinnamon Sugar

Chocolate Sauce

Method

Prepare the Dough

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Flour

    Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Eggs

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth. Finally, stir in vanilla extract.

Prepare Cinnamon Sugar

  1. 4

    Mix Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Prepare Chocolate Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Chocolate

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until smooth and creamy.

Fry the Churros

  1. 6

    Heat Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Pipe Churros

    Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Carefully pipe strips of dough into the hot oil, cutting them to your desired length.

    Fry Until Golden

    Fry churros for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    While still warm, roll churros in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
